Global warming prevention
Our energy management division is actively involved in the prevention of global warming through the environmental assessment including the installation of energy efficient facilities and checking energy conservation for facility updating as well as promoting systematic investment in each division and providing appropriate advice based on the examples of past approaches and the latest energy-saving technologies. In FY2023, we achieved a 51% reduction of CO₂ sales intensity compared to that of FY2013 against the target of 34% reduction.

Reduction of power usage by energy conservation measures
We are systematically implementing energy conservation measures within the factories each year. In FY2023, we also switched the ceiling lighting in our Numazu Plant to LED lighting (311 LED bulbs). Through these efforts, we cut annual power usage by 305,590 kWh (equivalent to 119.2 tons of CO₂).
Using renewable energy
Solar power generation equipment operating at the Gotemba Technical Center since fiscal 2017 has generated approximately 48,000kWh per year of 2023, which is equivalent to approximately 0.1% of all electricity consumption by Shibaura Machine Group companies in Japan.
The generated power is consumed in the Gotemba Plant. In emergency situations, it will also be supplied to the emergency response headquarters.
